These drivers are often non-financial, future-oriented and external to the organisation. The seminar will draw out the challenges that accountants face in measuring and reporting non-financial, external and future oriented information and propose a way of resolving some of the challenges.
Excellent “Negotiation & Influencing Skills” are a must in the market place enabling business owners, partners and directors to punch above their weight in what is often a crowded market.Often it is fear, confidence issues or lack of preparation that lets us down.
